Yah, lovely drizzle... I usually do not take note of that stuff. Rain is well, rain. From the various fogs and drizzle types that you mention, there is sort-of rain, light rain, meduim rain, and rain. Then there is what I call rain-rain, or raining raining, or really raining which is a steady rain that I will stop working in. One will get soaked fast in raining rain. Then there are the havy rain types, above raining raining. Starting with hard rain, and then heavy rain, and then fat rain, which is heavy rain in more sparce dropmets, but they sting when they hit you. My brother calls that 'chubby rain' after the fake movie that they made in a Steve Martin movie. Then there is raining buckets, and raining small animals, and then raining in sheets. That is when we get sheets of rain in variations that you can see. Then there are torrents of rain, and raining large animals. Then last on the rain list, there is cloudburst. I have only experienced that a few times, once here, once in Mexico, once in San Diego, and once in Portland when I was a kid driving around with my father. Things just let loose, and the world is flooded in about 20 minutes of solid heavy downpour. 2 inches an hour+ stuff. This usually leads to flash flooding. Then there is the evil freezing rain, that turns to ice when it hits anything.
Right now we are between steady drizzle and light rain here. "Is it raining?" rain. Spring has sprung, and the daffodills are flowering now. Spring showers today. Enough to stop us from spraying today, so nothing to do but play on the 'puter. Ick, I have to do my taxes today too... :jawdrop:
